George W. Bush's new book "Decision Points"
- Thread starter Bfgrn
- Start date
With all due respect and stuff...
You are wearing that line out, bravo, time to find new material! Compare the misspeaks between the two men and see where you land! You know Obama is a far better orator than George Bush and probably knows more about our government and how is works than did Bush did or does.I wonder if he was misunderestimated in all 57 states....
Especially in that one state called Alaska and Hawaii....
I know there were some corpse men that did....
In a contest of smarts Obama would blow Bush out of the water with a direct hit every time.
I have a copy, haven't read mine, but one comment that was made about it, is that it contains very little original material, he mostly uses what other people have said about him in their books.
I just can't bring myself to read it. I am finishing Freethinkers and just can't bring myself to read a book about Bush after I have read one about Jefferson and Paine!
When you stop with the Sarah Palin overdone, abused lines you use all the time, then you can talk. Until then shut the fvck up, k Foggy?

Nope.
It's easy to get up calmly, calmly tell the kids that the Prez just got a message & has some business to attend to, and calmly leave the classroom.
I don't know how anyone in that position can sit there like a deer in the headlights for 7 full minutes, knowing only that America is under attack.
Of course you say that. The fact of the matter is he handled himself and the circumstance well. The press corp that were there felt so too.
He didn't handle himself well. He froze.
He wasn't a leader. He was a spoiled son of privilege, who never should have been President, and in fact wouldn't have gotten anywhere near any kind of public office had his last name not been "Bush."
According to those there, including the press corps, he did not freeze-he handled the situation with composure and intelligence.
That he was born into privilidge can be said of about 85% of US presidents..BFD.

onceler always finds fault with bush
his opinion is irrelevant adn not based on facts
Before Bush ever got to the classroom, Rove informed him of the first plane hitting the WTC....no other details were available as to type of plane, damage, etc.
Minutes later Condi Rice called Bush to inform him it was a commerical airliner and not a small plane as previously thought. Again, no other details.
Bush entered classroom and student activities began...
Minutes later, Andy Card entered and told Bush of second plane strike and whispered "America is under attack"....TV were going to be set up in the hold room...
Rather than interrupt the kids and cause a scene and panic, Bush waited for a couple of minutes,....reporters in the room were getting the word about the planes on their cellphones.
Ari Fleischer held up a sign that said, "Don't say anything yet"....
After seven minutes, Card came back and Bush left and watched the TV coverage of the plane strikes....and made notes on what he would say to the people...
he announced, "Ladies and Gentleman, this is a difficult moment for America.
Two airplanes have crashed into the WTC in an apparent terrorist attack on our country.....Terrorism against our nation will not stand"
He asked for a moment of silence for the victims and left....
Those are the facts....He didn't panic, he didn't cause a panic, what little he could at that point in time he would do and did do from right where he was...it didn't matter one iota exactly where that location was.
Aides were gathering information as fast as humanly possible.
There was as always a full contingent of secret service and local police around Bush, the school, and the entire area around the school...to say he endangered the school children and the entire school is such a load of shit, its not even funny....they were no more endangered by his visit than they would have been with or without the attack in NY...
And as usual, you expose yourself as a pinhead. And an ignorant one at that....

No, he should have yelled and shaken his fist at the sky for 7 minutes...

Just WTF should he have done for those 7 minutes?.....I guess he could have acted like Obama would have, and blamed Clinton for the attack for those 7 minutes....

What he should have said was, 'I do not have the wit or intelligence to run a burger store let alone a country under attack.' And then he should have shot himself.
Lee Iacocca didn't have a clue what was going on in the hour or two or three following the WTC attacks...not a fuckin' clue...and neither do you...Bush could have calmly whispered to the teacher that he had an urgent executive matter that required immediate attention, then let her handle informing the children...OR...he could have calmly stood up, asked the teacher if he could interrupt, and tell the children: 'Hey kids, your president has some important 'president things' he has to take care of so I have to leave now. I enjoyed my visit and I will come back another day...God bless America...bye, bye'
They're second graders. That would make them 7 years old. They have parents and teachers (adults) who give them directives and directions from the time they get up, to the time their parents tell them 'it's time for you to go the bed'.
IF a domestic airliner full of American citizens were traveling at 600 mph heading for a target like the Capital, and immediate orders to shoot it down had to be considered, the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States of America would be the person with that grave responsibility.
Bush FAILED in his responsibilities as Commander in Chief...
I will re-post what Lee Iacocca said:
The Test of a Leader
I've never been Commander in Chief, but I've been a CEO. I understand a few things about leadership at the top. I've figured out nine points, not ten (I don't want people accusing me of thinking I'm Moses). I call them the "Nine Cs of Leadership."
9) The Biggest C is Crisis Leaders are made, not born. Leadership is forged in times of crisis. It's easy to sit there with your feet up on the desk and talk theory. Or send someone else's kids off to war when you've never seen a battlefield yourself. It's another thing to lead when your world comes tumbling down. On September 11, 2001, we needed a strong leader more than any other time in our history. We needed a steady hand to guide us out of the ashes. Where was George Bush? He was reading a story about a pet goat to kids in Florida when he heard about the attacks. He kept sitting there for twenty minutes with a baffled look on his face. It's all on tape. You can see it for yourself. Then, instead of taking the quickest route back to Washington and immediately going on the air to reassure the panicked people of this country, he decided it wasn't safe to return to the White House. He basically went into hiding for the day, and he told Vice President Dick Cheney to stay put in his bunker. We were all frozen in front of our TVs, scared out of our wits, waiting for our leaders to tell us that we were going to be okay, and there was nobody home. It took Bush a couple of days to get his bearings and devise the right photo op at Ground Zero. That was George Bush's moment of truth, and he was paralyzed. And what did he do when he'd regained his composure? He led us down the road to Iraq, a road his own father had considered disastrous when he was President. But Bush didn't listen to Daddy. He listened to a higher father. He prides himself on being faith based, not reality based. If that doesn't scare the crap out of you,I don't know what will.
Iacocca: Where Have All the Leaders Gone?
Lee Iacocca
Only a boneheaded Democrat would manufacture conclusions about something they know absolutely nothing about....The rumors of more attacks, bombings, unresponsive aircraft heading for the capitol and the White House, the DECISIONS ABOUT PRESIDENTIAL SAFETY MADE BY THE SECRET SERVICE and those entrusted with his security....and hundreds of other bits of intelligence that you pinheads were then and still are unaware of ....
Amazing how pinheads can speak with such authority and be totally ignorant of what is actually happening ....manufacture answers to problems they haven't yet learned about ...come to conclusions without being privy to even the tiniest bit of intelligence....and actually believe they are right....
Such a predictable answer from Bush apologists. The choices were either sit there like a deer in the headlights, or do something extreme & panic.
How about politely excusing himself & calmly leaving the room?
Again - all he knew was that America was under attack. He froze.
You always apologize for him.
The facts are that he sat there frozen, like a deer in the headlights, when all he knew was that the country he was leading was under attack.
Them's the facts.
To what purpose?
Why excuse yourself and leave the room?.... To do what?
What did he miss doing that he should have done....?
Facts and rumors and data and intell. was being gathered by those
that have that responsibility.....communications were being setup...Air Force One was preparing for departure....
Should be have armed the nuclear subs?
Alerted SAC and headed to Russia?
Break out the codes for atomic warfare?
Good point. It's not like there is any need for leadership when the country is UNDER ATTACK.
Come to think of it, he should have stayed in that classroom for years....
